One bite then the mad-
ness begins. Binge-stuffing my
face. Swallowing whole.

Looking back I find
this old friend, written record
for the world to view
That first brush with death
shook loose her confident grasp
of all she held dear.
Eyes red focus shot
totally worthless but I
still need that paycheck.
You still up? Dude, it’s
not like the internet won’t
be there tomorrow.
Some days she doesn’t
fit into her skin, too young
to be old this soon.
What we hold onto
owns us drowns us sedates us
slow death by shopping.
I type in a dim
dark room listening to surf.
There’s an app for that.
90 knows me well,
her sinuous curves — through five
states — lead me onward.
She contemplates bangs,
a different color, hair
as reinvention.
